The Couture Week in Paris this Fall saw some of the most “un-couture-like” designs being sent sashaying down the ramp. Designers seemed determined to convince their audiences that “haute couture” does not necessarily mean shiny, long-trailing gowns and evening dresses covered in embellishments. And convince us they did, because we thought their light, wearable-during-the-day designs were as amazing and well-made as their gowns.
